€? 367 Bender's Surprise Muskmelon 



90 days. A very popular variety. Large size, deliciously sweet, with long keeping qualities. 



(Salmon flesh.) A very popular, large muskmelon, known in the East, particularly around Albany, N. Y., where it has a wide reputation 

 for high quality in the best hotels and markets. It grows, in all sections, to a very large size, often producing melons weighing 15 pounds, 

 while the average crop will produce many melons weighing about 10 pounds each. The melons are oval in shape, light green, with coarse 

 netting. When ripe, turns to a golden tint, which gives the fruit an attractive appearance. 



The very thick, deep orange colored flesh is deliciously sweet and of high flavor. The vines are productive, producing melons in about 90 

 days that will keep iu good condition 5 to 6 days after picking. For the home garden, market or shipping, this is an important consider- 

 ation. Our stock was grown for us from the original Bender melon. 



Packet, 1 cents; ounce, 25 cents; quarter pound, 70 cents; pound, $2.25; 5 pounds, $10.00, postpaid.
